Yes. So did I. However, after studying real history (or, rather, what some would call "biased mainstream history") I came to a different conclusion.

Study alone was not the main thing which prompted me to abandon the ancient astronaut theory, though. It was also the disrespect shown to our human ancestors. It is as if the AA theorists are all saying, "Humans were way too stupid back then, and way too lacking in imagination, to have made these things - therefore, aliens must have."

Even if I were to grant that our ancestors were morons (and I don't) it still would not follow that alien intervention would be the only explanation.

If the entire premise of the show is based on a LIE (Sitchins lies)...How am I buying into the main stream narrative ?
I've even read a book on cuneiform to get a better grasp (though be it a very small one). Just to get a better understanding.
PS-I never rely on Wikipedia as a firm source.

I agree. However, I tend to think that some of the knowledge which our ancient (and fairly well-known) civilizations possessed was passed down from a much earlier (and, as yet, unknown) human civilization.
